'Robot Unicorn Attack Heavy Metal Edition' Blazes on to App Store
13/10/2010 |
Adult Swim's Robot Unicorn Attack [$2.99 / HD] has been somewhat of a cult classic, both on the iPhone and iPad as well as online with their free flash version of the game. The game follows a similar gameplay model to so many games that involve running to the right for as long as possible, with two distinct differences. First off, you play as a rainbow colored robotic unicorn, and secondly the entire game is set to Erasure's Always. Following the success of the first, today Adult Swim...
'NyxQuest' Review - Explore a Gorgeous Greek Universe
While NyxQuest [99/Lite/HD/HD Lite] may be new to iOS platforms, it is not a new game. Chillingo's greek-themed platformer has already been praised in its WiiWare incarnation, and it's also been available for PC and Mac via Steam since late last year. The question we have been mulling a...
'Brain in Jar' Review - One Gray Matter's Quest for Freedom
The auto-running genre is one of the most saturated on the App Store, and although there are many excellent games that use that particular formula, there are far more mediocre or just plain bad games trying to cash in on the genre's popularity. It's because of this that it's hard to get excited w...
'Climber Brothers' Review - Scaling the Heights with Teamwork
My mom's experience with videogames largely consists of watching me play Final Fantasy IX and X and offering such helpful advice as, "Why don't you just cut his head off with that big sword?" and, "Don't you have a gun? You could just shoot him and be done with it.&#...
'Tero' Review - A Well Designed but Unforgiving Platformer
Tero [99]– the new by-the-numbers platformer from Studio Yomi featuring the titular pilot who, oddly enough, runs and jumps instead of piloting anything — is ostensibly about saving lives.But don't be fooled by the 24 gorgeously detailed naturescapes or the Fern Gully-inspired ca...
'Bouncy Mouse' Review - Fling a Mouse Around on a Quest for Cheese
Every iOS developer wants to hear great feedback about their game. Still, some compliments are better than others, and when it comes to a portable title, there is one phrase that is music to the ears every time: "I can't put it down!" When it comes to Bouncy Mouse [99/HD], the new...
'Stickman BMX' Review - The Stickman Cometh Again, This Time on a Bike
When Traction Games first brought Stickman Skater [99/Lite] to the App Store, it was a bit of a surprise hit. With the release of its spiritual successor, Stickman BMX [99/Lite/HD] it's a question of how much of the core gameplay will change with the name while still retaining fans of the or...
'Emberwind' Review - A Fantasy Platform Adventure
Emberwind [$0.99 / HD] is a delightful 2d action adventure side-scrolling platformer with fantasy themes, published by Chillingo and ported to IOS by Innogiant. It was originally released on PC / Mac by TimeTrap in 2009– And yet, it's still a wonderful game to play today, on our fancy ...
'Darkness Escape Deluxe' Review - A Fairly Boring Run
In the great scheme of iOS gaming, Darkness Escape Deluxe [$0.99 / HD ] isn't a horrible game. In fact, Darkness Escape does an adequate job representing the platform runner genre that has become more prevalent on the App Store in recent years. Unfortunately, adequate isn't enough, especially whe...
'Roping Rob' Review - Journey FROM the Center of the Earth!
We originally planned to describe Roping Rob [99c] as a "hook-throwing platform game", because modern gamers are familiar with that genre, thanks to popular titles like Super Quick Hook [$2.99 / Review]. However, according to the game description from developers, Wehaveapp, you're ...
